Former Arizona State football associate head coach Antonio Pierce and former non-coaching staff member Anthony Garnett participated in a program-wide effort to engage in impermissible recruiting activities during the COVID-19 dead period, according to a decision released by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel. Due to his personal involvement in aspects of the violations — namely, providing recruiting inducements to prospects and their families — Pierce violated the principles of ethical conduct. 

In April, the Division I Committee on Infractions approved a negotiated resolution in which the school and four other individuals agreed to the violations and penalties in this case. Three additional parties did not participate in the processing of the case, and their violations and penalties were included in the agreement.The Division I Committee on Infractions publicly announced the agreement so the school could immediately begin serving penalties while awaiting the committee's final decision for the parties who contested their violations. The case for Pierce and Garnett was resolved via written record hearing.
